[touser]

hi all i just ordered dsl from earthlink to replace my current cable in case it goes out in the upcoming weeks with the excite problem..i am 14,930ft away from the centeral office and i was wondering what kind of speeds i should expect on a 1500/128 dsl connection?i live in a new area..about 5 yrs old so the lines are clean(er) than most areas... :), thanks in advance!

well speeds will always vary, but in my case no body who lives near me has adsl from bellsouth, and i live maybe 2miles maybe a little less from the place.

and i get above 2000/300

so you should get at least 1000, depending on your situation.

but if your in a situation like mine just a further distance you should get the advertised speeds.:)

thanks for the reply robb23 i appreciate it..would you do somthing for me though i am kind of curious as to how far away from the CO you are and getting those speeds! would you go to http://www.dslreports.com/prequal and run the test and tell me how far away from the CO it says you are? thanks again!

wow, im farther then i thought, 13640 feet, thats the exact number i got.

and the advertised specs are 1500/256

and bandwidth place has a new version of testing and its results were closer then there previous version and dslreports.

i got 1.9mbps and thats a little low but its way closer then what dslreports gave me.

less then 1.4mbps most of the time:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

which isnt even close.:)

Edit, and thats with a prog open that dls stuff.
and i just did the test agian and got 2mbps:)
so im likin there new test version:D
